This creamy roasted red pepper soup with smokey gouda is intensely flavorful with a hint of smokey taste in the background.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 medium or ¾ cup White onion (Or Yellow, chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 stalk Celery (chopped)
  • 2 (16 oz) jars or 4 medium Roasted red peppers
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper powder
  • Salt (to taste)
  • 3 cups Vegetable broth
  • ½ cup Heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup Smoked gouda cheese (grated)
  • Parsley (or Cilantro, for garnishing)

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot add onion, celery and garlic. Sprinkle a little salt to speed up the cooking process. Stir and saute till onions are soft and translucent.

  2. 2

    Now add roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, pepper, remaining salt and vegetable stock. Stir well to combine everything.

  3. 3

    Let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Transfer the mixture into the blender and blend it until smooth. Be careful when blending hot stuff. Or you can use an immersion hand blender (in my opinion it does not make soup silky smooth).

  5. 5

    Again bring it to a simmer on low heat, add heavy cream and mix.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle gouda cheese and stir until melted. It is ready to serve.
